Campaigning in your local area is a great way to support the Heart Foundation and contribute to a healthier Australia. To help you in your campaign we have developed a few tips for you.

If starting a campaign seems out of your depth or commitment level, contact us. We may already have a campaign you can participate in and learn from.

Identify and research your issue. Take some time to understand the issue and who else is impacted. Do some research in your area such as a survey, hold group discussions, research case studies and interview area experts.

Set your expectations or goals. Be clear about what you are trying to achieve. This will help the development of solutions and help you measure your success.

Once you know your goal, identify the decision makers, partners, media and local supporters.

Present your issue. There are a number of tools you can use such as petitions, letters and meetings.
